After suffering from chronic fatigue for months and being physically unable to cope, and not receiving a proper diagnosis from specialists for these very limiting symptoms at the time, I, as a medical journalist, intensively researched the topic of fatigue. Through my Munich general practitioner and burnout expert, I had a blood diagnostic test done at the BIOVIS laboratory on June 14, 2022, for the BHI, the Bioenergetic Health Index. The result for me was really very bad: I had high oxidative stress, very poor energy formation in the body (meaning low ATP production), a high proton leak in my mitochondrial metabolism, among other things, i.e., a severe disturbance of the energy metabolism (citric acid cycle) as a result of viral infections and a Lyme Borreliosis from a wasp sting, a bacterial infection that also leads to low-threshold brain inflammation, not recognized by doctors.

I became aware of FORTE by the company CYL from Austria and informed myself about the ingredients 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural/5HMF and Alpha-Ketoglutarate. I bought several packages and started an active cell treatment for extraordinary stress with BASIC and FORTE for more than 3 weeks and noticed a clear increase in physical energy and improved circulation; I finally had warm feet again :-) BASIC+FORTE optimizes oxygen supply, improves cellular energy production, and noticeably increases energy production in the cells (ATP). To my knowledge, vital nutrients can be well absorbed by the cells only when oxidative stress is reduced, so the treatment was for me the first proper step in fighting my exhaustion.
